Slide1: The Commitment of the Railway Supply Sector UNIFE Transport & Environment WG By Suzanne l’Ami International Affairs Manager UNIFE


Slide2: UNIFE: The European Railway Industries UNIFE represents the interest of the European railway industry towards the European Institutions, international railway associations and other business relations. The railway industry consists of trend setting industries in the field of rolling stock, infrastructure, information technology and signaling, provision of part and services. UNIFE represents the largest and medium sized companies of the railway supply industry. Further equipment suppliers are associated members through their National Associations.

Bombardier - DfE – Examples of Achievements: Bombardier - DfE – Examples of Achievements Power Converters From the oil-cooled GTO to the water-cooled IGBT technology Reduced Life Cycle Cost Modular design High efficiency Low weight Extremely efficient and environment friendly cooling system Simplified repair and maintenance procedures


Slide8: Bombardier - Energy consumption of Conventional Modern Light Rail Vehicles Braking energy Only around 15% of total input energy is recuperated in braking mode Around 25% of input energy is burned in brake resistors


Innovative BombardierMitrac Energy Saver Solution: Innovative Bombardier Mitrac Energy Saver Solution Energy storage on board of vehicle Around 40% of input energy is recuperated in braking mode and fed back to the energy storage this stored energy is being used for the next startup


BombardierMitrac Energy Saver Solution – 30 % savings: Additionally: reduction of losses in contact wire The energy storage device reduces network current Lower network current generates significantly lower losses in contact wire (PV=R*I2) Bombardier Mitrac Energy Saver Solution – 30 % savings Total Energy Saving: 30 % compared to a modern LRV


Improvement Example Energy use: Stockholm – Västerås : Early 1990’s Intercity train Loco + 4 coaches, 275 seats Speed: 110 – 130 km/h Travel time: 1:18 min Load factor: 35 % Energy: 0.12 kWh / pkm* Today Regina, EMU 3 coaches, 272 seats Speed: 110 – 200 km/h Travel time: 0:53 min Load factor: 53 % Energy: 0.057 kWh / pkm* *pkm = passenger kilometer Energy consumption more than 50% lower! Improvement Example Energy use: Stockholm – Västerås


Siemens - Metro Oslo MX: Siemens - Metro Oslo MX Key features electrical multiple unit (EMU) passenger capacity: max. 678 max. speed 80 km/h Environ-mental value 30 % energy savings in comparison to predecessor regenerative brakes recover up to 46% of energy consumed recycling rate of 94.7 % Customer value reduction of life cycle costs (less energy consumption due to e.g. lightweight carbody design) substitution of harmful materials and chemicals Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)


Siemens - TS LM: EuroRunner 20: Siemens - TS LM: EuroRunner 20 Key features Electronically controlled Common Rail Diesel Engine Energy-saving AC Electric Power Transmission Max. 140 (160) kph, 250 kN Environ-mental value In comparison to typical out-dated diesel locomotives: Saving of up to 16 % diesel fuel Red. of exhaust toxics up to 70 % Red. of particles ca. 10 t over service life Noise Reduction up to 13 dB Customer value In comparison to typical out-dated diesel locomotives: 17 % savings in operational costs 8 % savings in overall LCC Significant increase of availability due to lower maintenance effort


AnsaldoBreda - Energy Efficient Products: AnsaldoBreda - Energy Efficient Products LCA management resulted for AB in an Eco Design thinking approach. AB is focused in developing the following technologies: Low emission hybrid drive Battery diesel powered generator hybrid Fuel cell traction system technology On board power supply Lightweight technologies New product to reduce noise, vibration, weight and environmental impact Flywheel to recover energy during braking


Industry’s involvement in EU Projects: Industry’s involvement in EU Projects Green – Aim: to develop a near zero emissions Heavy Duty engine and to explore the transfer of new technologies to railway applications. Silence – Aim: the creation of noise abatement technologies for road and rail vehicles, urban transport infrastructure and traffic flow aspects. Focused on source of noise emissions. Q-city – Aim: to develop an integrated technology infrastructure for the efficient control of road and rail ambient noise. Focused on noise reception Railenergy: - Aim: to cut the energy consumption within an optimised railway system thus contributing to a reduction in the life cycle costs of railway operation and of CO2 emissions per seat/kilometre or tonne/kilometre
